Raise your hand if you have needed a reason, needed just one thing, one moment – to help you feel more cheerful recently.
::raising hand::
I believe many of us are struggling with a sort of feeling of dread and/or complacency. We’re looking around ourselves each day and wondering how to get ahead, how to climb the mountain or maybe why it is even worth climbing. I’ve heard before that the universe gives us mountains to prove that they can be climbed. For any of you out there who have overcome obstacles then you know how amazing it feels when you get to the top. Don’t ever let someone tell you that mountains can’t be moved; they can be conquered.
Someone else who seems to have this same line of thinking is none other than David Byrne. Are you wondering why that name sounds familiar? Yes, he’s a solo artist, but you might also remember him as being the frontman for the band Talking Heads. Byrna has taken it upon himself to publish an online magazine with solutions found to the many problems facing our turbulent world. The slogan for this online publication is, “A self help magazine for people who hate self help magazines.” Haha, I love it!
Today, David Byrne announced the launch of Reasons to be Cheerful, an online magazine focused on solutions-oriented stories about problems being solved all over the world. reasonstobecheerful.world will publish stories detailing real changes with measurable impact that are meant to inspire and uplift, written and edited by professional writers and experts in their fields.
